AFAS Intellectual Life: Black Bodies, Black Votes: Pre-Election Analysis
Race is a defining issue in the 2024 U.S. election. Join our expert panelists for an in-depth panel discussion on what this election means for Black voters. From the historic nomination of the first Black woman by a major political party to Trump's escalating attacks on people of color and immigrants—most recently targeting Haitian immigrants—race and rights are being used to mobilize young and marginalized voters while simultaneously stoking fear among white voters. Panelists will also address the ongoing attacks on DEI initiatives, Black Studies curricula in public schools, and affirmative action, alongside continued efforts to suppress Black votes. This panel explores critical challenges and stakes Black voters face in what is being called one of the most consequential elections in history.
In response, the Department of African & African American Studies has convened a panel of scholars to provide historical and political context. The discussion will explore what's at stake for the country and, in particular, for Black Americans as we look toward the future.
RSVP is required.
